Hi all new to the forum so sorry if this is posted in the wrong spot. I have a question about getting my concealed weapons permit. In August of 2009 I received a MIP in Douglas county,I was wondering from people in state and out of state if this is something that would get my application denied. Any one had any experience with this?
Please move this post if need be.
